Balam Muchh Wala by Koshinder Chaprana, Vaishnavi, Arun Boss

Few songs from 2021 have held their ground as well as Balam Muchh Wala, a track that keeps finding new audiences. The music, composed by Kavi Bijan, carries the song forward with a confidence that matches the performance.

The performance by Koshinder Chaprana, Vaishnavi, Arun Boss is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. The connection between a talented ensemble cast and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

Released in 2021, it arrived at a time when Haryanvi music needed exactly this kind of sincerity. There is no right time to listen to Balam Muchh Wala. There is only the moment you press play and realise it was the right choice.

Running to 4:54, the song is exactly as long as it needs to be, which is the hardest length for a songwriter to find. For anyone yet to hear Balam Muchh Wala, the experience ahead is a good one. For those returning, it will be as good as they remember.
